[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's dressing up as a specific person, I don't think that's offensive at all OP[/quote] No, it's actually worse because she's ascribing "generic Indian clothing" to someone who may or may not have worn anything even remotely similar. Native culture is unique to tribes and regions, and throwing on a fringe dress and calling yourself Sacagawea because that's the only Native person you know is absolutely offensive. If she wants to be Sacagawea, rather than just wanting to wear that specific dress, help her to research what Sacagawea actually would have worn as a member of a certain tribal community. [/quote] Yes. This is what I wanted to post. Help her get her details right, take her to library, fabric store, etc. She'll learn a lot and feel proud to be posing as an important figure from history. [/quote] Yes. This.[/quote]
